[Bug 351463] Re: KDE4 screensaver lock doesn't accept password

[resplin]

I see the buggy behavior on three machines, all fresh installs between
Alpha 6 and Beta 1, and all updated on the same day to Beta 1.

I went through the bug at kde.org, and tested kcheckpass. I too fail:

richard at laptop:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec$ ./kcheckpass 
Password:                                                                                                        
Authentication failure                                                                                           
richard at laptop:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec$ tail -f /var/log/auth.log

Oct  5 08:39:16 laptop unix_chkpwd[3745]: password check failed for user (richard)                       
Oct  5 08:39:16 laptop kcheckpass[3741]: pam_unix(kde:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=/dev/pts/1 ruser= rhost=  user=richard                                                               
Oct  5 08:39:16 laptop kcheckpass[3741]: Authentication failure for richard (invoked by uid 1000)        
^C

However, I just noticed that things are working on the kid's computer now. I checked the versions of kdebase, and they are the same:
kdebase-workspace-bin  4:4.3.1-0ubuntu14

I haven't configured things any differently. Any suggestions on how to
identify what is going on?

Thanks for your help.
